This league provides professional and quality uniform, flags, and other gear that other leagues cannot because they do not involve an affiliation with a National establishment which is reflective in the cost when we order the gear. Other establishments that provide leagues own their buildings/fields, we must pay rent and maintain what we use as well as provide families with restrooms while they are there.
